Zhou Mengyao did not answer directly, but looked at the headless corpse: "Let's confirm the identity of this corpse first."
Qi Xuansu had no objection: "Thank you Sanniang."
He also has self-awareness. In this regard, he is far inferior to Zhou Mengyao. Not to mention Zhou Mengyao's immortal cultivation. Given his age, Qi Xuansu may not understand even if Qi Xuansu is unguarded about many secrets.
, after all, Qi Xuansu needs to take the initiative to understand, which takes time.
The secrets of Taoism are like a Buddhist scripture pavilion. Even if there are no restrictions and you can watch it casually, you can't finish it in a year or two.
In fact, the same is true for being a Grand Master. In name, the Grand Master has almost unlimited power, but if you want to use this power to the extreme and truly live up to the name, you have to put in a lot of energy and have almost no time to spare. If you don’t want to do everything yourself,
If you want to be free, you must decentralize your power. If you give your power to others, you run the risk of being deceived or even ignored.
When Zhou Mengyao went to check the immortal's remains, Qi Xuansu asked Long Xiaobai again: "Xiaobai, how many days have you been here?"
Long Xiaobai said: "Same as last time, I was teleported directly to the side of the alchemy furnace. I couldn't see the sun here and couldn't get out. It probably took less than ten days."
Qi Xuansu did some calculations. According to Li Yuanjing's three thousand years, more than two months had indeed passed in the human world. However, when he and Zhou Mengyao went to Cangyun Castle in the underworld, they experienced two more time distortions.
fog, and when entering the underworld Governor's Mansion. More importantly, Qi Xuansu also took the initiative to use the "Gui Zang Lamp" to conduct a small-scale time review. Therefore, the two months were further shortened, which makes sense.
Qi Xuansu asked again: "What happened to the 'shopkeeper'? Did you beat him for ten days?"
Long Xiaobai said: "He came here yesterday. We had a disagreement and got into a fight. It took me a lot of effort to use up all his magical power. It was a bit difficult to deal with."
Qi Xuansu frowned: "In other words, the 'shopkeeper' did not teleport here directly like you, but came in from the outside. But how did he get in?"
It’s no wonder that Qi Xuansu has such doubts. What kind of configuration does he and Zhou Mengyao have? Immortals plus pseudo-immortals, plus immortal things and a little luck, they went through all kinds of hardships to get here, and even lost Su Yuanzai on the way.
The "shopkeeper" is just a celestial being in the stage of creation, why did he come here?
It is definitely not based on realm cultivation, so there is only one explanation. The "shopkeeper" has something like a "key" in his hand, and he skipped the extraterrestrial demon.
Even the demons from outside the territory are inseparable from the "shopkeeper". The reason is very simple. Su Yuanzai has been here many times and nothing happened. Why did it happen this time?
There are four variables here: Zhou Mengyao, Qi Xuansu, Long Xiaobai, and the "shopkeeper".
In fact, Long Xiaobai can be eliminated first, firstly because she has been here once, and secondly because she was directly teleported to the core area.
Then there are Zhou Mengyao and Qi Xuansu, both of whom are also victims. There is only one missing "shopkeeper" who has escaped from the extraterrestrial demon and is the most suspicious.
This raises another question, whether it is a "key" that allows easy entry and exit, or a cardinal who controls extraterrestrial demons, where does the "shopkeeper" come from?
It is definitely not the "shopkeeper's" own thing. With the development of Taoist sect to this day, there are very few wild opportunities left outside. Even Qi Xuansu, all his opportunities, whether it is "Heart of Immortality Stone" or other immortal objects
, essentially all obtained from Taoism.
So the answer is already there, given by the Daxuan court.
It is not surprising that the Daxuan court, known as the "Xia Dao Sect", has such a heritage.
That makes sense.
Yunmengze was mysterious, and the Daxuan court knew that it was related to "Cangtian". They wanted to monopolize it, but they were afraid of disturbing the Taoist sect, so they couldn't send people openly, so they handed the matter over to the "Inn" that specialized in doing private and dirty work for the court.
.
Logically speaking, the "proprietor" should take action in person, but as a result, the "proprietor" was injured by Zhou Mengyao, so he had to let the "shopkeeper" temporarily take over.
As for whether it would be too rash to just send the "shopkeeper"? In fact, it is not rash.
Things were sealed, and for the court, the key was not to alarm the Taoist sect. However, Su Yuanzai had already discovered Yunmengze's miraculousness, but Su Yuanzai was not yet aware that "Cangtian" was involved behind the miraculousness.
If a large number of experts are sent out, it will definitely make Su Yuanzai suspicious. Then Su Yuanzai, who feels that the situation is out of control, will directly go to the report door, which is contrary to the original intention. Moreover, Su Yuanzai's identity is here, and he cannot be killed directly.
, then we can only send a "shopkeeper" to paralyze Su Yuanzai, making Su Yuanzai think that the matter is still under control, not to report it, and then wait for the opportunity to act.
When Qi Xuansu was sent to the Southern Continent by the Taoist sect, he had the cultivation level of "Shopkeeper". It cannot be said that the Taoist sect had the courage, but the Daxuan court did not have this courage. It can only be said that Qi Xuansu succeeded, but the "Shopkeeper" failed.
Having said that, the "shopkeeper" almost succeeded. If Qi Xuansu hadn't brought Long Xiaobai to intervene, the "shopkeeper" would have succeeded. If Long Xiaobai had followed Qi Xuansu to go to the body of the extraterrestrial demon, his cultivation would have been greatly damaged.
, the "shopkeeper" can also achieve one against three.
Who would have thought that Long Xiaobai would be teleported directly to the core area, waiting for work, and eventually beat the "shopkeeper" to death.
This means that humans are not as good as God.
Regarding this point, it may be related to the fact that Long Xiaobai has lived in Yunmengze since he was a child. Long Xiaobai is the only native of Yunmengze, and the others are all outsiders. As the god of Yunmengze, Long Xiaobai is really related to Yunmengze.
It makes sense to have some strange connection with the Cloud God, or to have received some kind of inheritance from the Cloud God.
It can be understood that Yun Shen secretly showed some mercy to Long Xiaobai, who was born in Yunmengze, and took special care of her. Entering Yun Shen Cave felt like going home.
Thinking of this, Qi Xuansu quickly walked towards the body of the "shopkeeper" and then inspected the body of the "shopkeeper".
As expected, Qi Xuansu found a withered human head among the "shopkeeper's" Xumi objects.
The human head, the headless corpse, and the human-faced "mask" on the demon's incarnation outside the territory all correspond to each other.
Before Qi Xuansu could think about it, Zhou Mengyao roughly determined the identity of the body: "Tianyuan, I probably know whose body this is."
Qi Xuansu asked: "Who is it?"
Zhou Mengyao said word by word: "Wang Jujun."
Qi Xuansu asked again: "How can you see it?"
Zhou Mengyao said: "There are traces of splicing on the corpse, which means that it has been dismembered. There are many immortals who meet the requirements for dismemberment. However, there is only one person who is dressed in imperial standards and was born before the Yellow Turban Uprising, and that is Wang Jujun.
The most critical point is that after Wang Jujun’s death, his head was cut off and collected by successive royal families.”
Qi Xuansu nodded slightly: "As expected."
Zhou Mengyao asked: "You don't seem surprised at all?"
Qi Xuansu took out the head: "Because I discovered this, and it just corresponds to your inference."
Zhou Mengyao was startled, then realized: "Wang Jujun's head?"
Qi Xuansu said: "That should be it. I found this from the 'shopkeeper'. You know, behind the 'inn' is the Daxuan imperial court. It makes sense that this head, which has been collected by the royal family of all dynasties, fell into the hands of the Daxuan royal family."
Zhou Mengyao rolled his eyes and thought quickly: "This makes sense. The core seal is not this hall, nor the Cloud God Cave Heaven and the 'Taixu Illusion Realm', but Wang Jujun's corpse."
"When the Red Emperor established Dapei, he initially used the Taoist sect Huang Lao, and later used the Confucian sect to check the Taoist sect. Later, he deposed all the schools and respected Confucianism. It was the Red Emperor's lineage that supported the Confucian sect, but in the end it was backlashed by the Confucian sect. In the end, Confucianism
The sage Wang Jujun usurped the throne and seized power."
"King Xiao, a descendant of the Red Emperor, killed Wang Jujun with the help of 'Cangtian', thwarted the Confucian sect's intention to take power for the first time, and became the ancestor emperor of Dapei. In order to warn the Confucian sect, King Xiao not only revoked Wang Jujun's title of saint, but also
Cut off the head of Wang Jujun, a Confucian saint, and store it in the inner treasury, and cut his body into pieces."
"When the Yellow Turban Uprising occurred, Taiping Dao relied on 'Huang Tian' to defeat 'Cang Tian' and overthrew Da Pei. However, they could not completely eliminate 'Cang Tian', so they spliced Wang Jujun's corpse together and sealed 'Cang Tian' in Wang Jujun's body.
, and then built this hall deep in the Yunshen Cave, and placed Wang Jujun’s body here.”
"That's why Wang Jujun's head became the key to the seal, and was collected by the royal family of all generations. It seems that the 'shopkeeper' relied on this thing to make 'Cangtian' appear in the world, and almost killed both of us."
Long Xiaobai was also listening. Long Xiaobai's stupidity was mainly reflected in his sophistication, not his IQ.
Hearing this, Long Xiaobai suddenly realized: "In other words, the Daxuan royal family already knows the situation here, and they just want to control the 'celestial sky'."
Qi Xuansu's face became serious: "No wonder you want to hide it from the Taoist sect. How can this be allowed? What does the Daxuan royal family, the 'lower Taoist sect', want the outside world to do?"
Zhou Mengyao said indifferently: "Of course I will kill you, but are you killing me?"
Long Xiaobai asked curiously: "Why?"
Zhou Mengyao explained: "Because he is the popular candidate for the Eighth Generation Grand Master, and I am not. There is no point in killing me."
Qi Xuansu said: "At the beginning, the Daxuan court was refining the 'Heart Monkey' in the Five Elements Mountain. However, it was blocked and thwarted by the Taoist sect. Now it has come to seek demons from outside the territory. Our Emperor is really ambitious and must achieve both the upper and lower Taoist sects."
flowering."
Zhou Mengyao gloated and said: "As the old saying goes, if the bludgeon hits the first bird, the first one will die first. The old saying goes again, a tree as beautiful as the forest will be destroyed by the wind, a dike higher than the shore will be destroyed by the waves, you are destroyed by the waves.
of."
Qi Xuansu glanced at her: "Sanniang, don't be too happy too early. It is precisely because of the ambition of the Daxuan court that Zhengyiyi and Quanzhen Tao are uniting. We are on the same side now. Whether it is Taiping Tao in power or Daxuan.
Even if the imperial court is in power, they will not let you go."
Zhou Mengyao said: "That's not necessarily true. The cooperation between Zhengyi Dao and Quanzhen Taoism is different. The cooperation between Taiping Dao and Daxuan royal family is not much better. I think they are seeking skin from a tiger. Emperor Daxuan wants to do what Fenglinzhou did.
, Xu Jun’s true appearance, let the chief leader make a decoration, and he will control the real power of the Taoist sect. Even if they win, the Li family and the Qin family will still have to fight. By then, we defeated generals will have a way to unite.
Value is just like Confucianism during the period of confrontation between Buddhism and Taoism. But you must be eliminated, there is no room for it."
Qi Xuansu snorted lightly, but he really couldn't refute.
Since he wants to stand up and compete for the position of Grand Master, he must not be the same as others.
You are already competing for the big head master, and you still want others to treat you with ordinary treatment. Isn’t it a waste of competition?
The clan of the previous dynasty can survive, but the prince of the previous dynasty cannot survive.
Qi Xuansu put Wang Jujun's head into Xumiwu: "Then I will not let them get what they want. I could 'calm the ape' back then, but now I can also 'hold the sky'."
"Let me explain, I haven't been busy in the past few days, and I haven't been stuck. I just fell ill. I have low blood sugar. I consume a lot and my intake is low. Others have high blood sugar, but I have low blood sugar. It has been a problem since I was a child. Friends who often have low blood sugar
I know that when I have an attack, I mainly feel dizzy, and I occasionally get stars. It’s not serious. It’s just that the dizziness makes me unable to concentrate at all. My coding efficiency is extremely low, and there is no good way. Eat regularly, supplement nutrition, and pay attention to rest. Short
It can be relieved in a week, or as slowly as half a month. Therefore, my updates have been extremely irregular these days. I originally thought that three or two days would be enough, so I didn’t say anything. I’ll explain it now.”
